On April 22, 2004, The Supreme Court of Canada has ordered a major gas distributor to pay up to $100-million in compensation to thousands of customers who were charged usurious late-payment fees.
The court said Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. was "unjustly enriched" and cannot hide behind the fact that a provincial regulator, the Ontario Energy Board, approved the late-fee penalty it began using in 1975.
